Johnson, a 6-foot-7, 275-pound offensive tackle prospect, is the top-rated recruit in Ohio's 2020 class per 247sports.com. That same site also ranks him as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country and a top-10 recruit nationally, regardless of position.

Johnson, a five-star, blue chip prospect, holds offers from every high-profile program in the country. He chose the Buckeyes from a giant list that includes Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, Texas and USC, to name a few.

Johnson is already committed to compete in the 2020 All-American Bowl.

The St. Xavier junior becomes the third player in Ohio State's '20 class joining fellow offensive tackle Jake Wray of Marietta, Georgia and safety Lejond Cavazos of IMG Academy in Florida. Cavazos committed to Ohio State on Wednesday while Wray did so in April.
